Suprapubic Hernia Surgery in Jalandhar
Star Hospital is known for the best suprapubic hernia surgery in Jalandhar. Dr. Jasmeet Singh Ahluwalia is the most senior and experienced surgeon. Suprapubic hernias are outpouchings that develop low in the abdomen, just above the pubic bone—most commonly at a previous surgical scar. A C-section, hysterectomy, or prostate/bladder surgery using a low horizontal cut can create a weak point in your abdominal wall, making it a likely place for a hernia to develop later. So, if you are looking for the best treatment for suprapubic hernia in Jalandhar, here are some facts you should be aware of.

What Causes It
A suprapubic hernia is a type of incisional hernia, which occurs when tissue pushes through a weakness in the abdominal wall. It can be caused by a previous cesarean section or surgery to the pelvis, slow-healing wounds, being overweight, excessive straining, and repeated pregnancies.
In particular, symptoms to watch for are
- A bump or bulge that can be felt or seen above the pubic bone
- Swelling that gets worse when standing, coughing, or straining
- A dull pain or tugging sensation
- Sudden pain, hardness, or a bulge that does not decrease—this requires immediate treatment
Diagnosis
Most suprapubic hernias are diagnosed during a physical examination. This region is located near the bladder, and doctors may use an ultrasound or CT scan to precisely map out the defect before planning surgery.
Suprapubic Hernia Repair: Treatment Options
These hernias don’t heal on their own and tend to grow as time goes on—the only definitive treatment is surgery.
- Open repair—This is the preferred method for larger or more complex defects, or if the defect has been caused by an earlier surgical procedure and a lot of scar tissue has formed.
- Laparoscopic (keyhole) repair — This is generally less painful and results in a quicker return to activity if it is an appropriate procedure for the patient.
The procedure that is right for you depends on the size of the hernia, your surgical history, and your overall health, which is determined by examination and imaging.
